Kassi came to us from La Pryor, a small town about 120 miles from here. She found us on the web and because she wanted something different, she chose us to make her senior portraits special. She attends La Pryor HS, where she does just about everything (volleyball, basketball, softball, track, band, just to name a few). She wants to become a photographer and own and operate her own business here in Texas after graduation. I don't know about her skills as far as making images with a camera, but she certainly doesn't have to do much to take a great portrait. Her personality shines when she's in front of the camera. Kassi chose the creative session, so we had it all planned. We started in the haybarn and got some great images there. When then moved to the swing with her very cute teal top and shorts. She picked another one of our hats and I must say, she looked so cute sitting and standing on the swing. We then used the Texas flag. We came inside and photographed her in her prom dress. Then moved outside to shoot her (with a camera) in her country white dress, then finished up inside with her gaming attire. Kassi texted her friends and said she felt like a model. We are always happy to see our clients enjoy the sessions. And to think, we got some great images too. More images on the site, and click here to watch a short video from the session.... Hope Kassi and family like the images.... Enjoy...

... came to us from JM via AHS. After graduation she wants to pursue an acting career. Shannon's a beautiful, happy, and simple young lady. Shannon brought her bestie, Lindsey, which was a huge help, fixing her gorgeous, thick, curly hair. She also helped with her wardrobe and makeup (thanks L for the help). Her pink dress with hat and jean jacket photographed really well in the haybarn (some of our favorites). But my favorite had to be the backlit holding a flower (it's on the cover of our senior page on our web site). She then changed into a very cute pair of jeans with white top and blue bow. I thought, "the car is screaming photograph with me", so we did. She's really into the HP book series so we incorporated several ideas with her outfit (hope she likes 'em). We finished up back in the fields with the flowers. Shannon didn't take a bad picture. She and mom will have a hard time choosing when they come back to view the images.... maybe we shouldn't take so many (hehehehe). Hopefully, they like 'em as much as we do.... More images on the site, and click here to watch a short video from the session. As always, we'd love to read your comments, so please leave some. Thanks again, Shannon, for choosing CK for this special time in your life.... Enjoy.

Ann Marie came to us from a referral from her friend Rebekah (a recent senior we photographed). She attends Clemens HS and plans to further her education at Texas State or Texas A&M Corpus after graduation. Ann Marie is a super cute, fun, and athletic, young lady. Did I mention she has a great personality and she's super cute (hehehehe). From the first minute she arrived, we just seemed to click (I couldn't resist). Ann Marie brought her dog, Maggie, an Austrailian Shepherd. She was very timid, but warmed up to us quickly. We started in the haybarn and included Maggie for those images. Some of which are so darn cute. With a change in outfits, we made it to the car and field of flowers. Ann Marie isn't a flowery type of girl, but we put her in the flowers and she enjoyed it. The images are some of our favorites. We finished up with the swing, again trying something different, and one of the images makes our all-time Hall-of-Fame favorites with the swing. All in all, we had a great time, and we certainly hope Ann Marie enjoyed the session as much as we did. And the images are even better.... More images on the site, and click here to see a short video from the session. Thanks Ann Marie for choosing CK for this significant time in your life. We hope we helped make it extra special for you. Enjoy....

I don't know if Justin can sing and dance, but he certainly loves music. Justin is a senior at the Communication Arts Magnet school in Northside ISD. He plans on majoring in music at UNT, then start a career as a band director. I think he has the perfect personality for that line of work. We photographed Justin's sister a few years ago, so fortunately for us, we didn't scare them off. Justin was pretty laid back, he had two casual outfits, but his final one was perfect for the car. We took some cool images with the car and then went inside to finish up with his instrument. I have to comment on his response to the Star Trek joke. He laughed so hard I thought he was gonna fall over (we know he'll never forget that one). We got some great images and had a great time. Hope he and mom like 'em? More images on the site, and click here to see a short video from the session. Enjoy...

is a senior at Clemens HS. She came to us from a referral from another senior we photographed last year. We're booked solid for the rest of the 2012 Senior Season, but we had a cancellation so fortunately, Rebekah got a slot. Rebekah is a reserved, athletic, and creative young lady. Not to mention very intelligent. She didn't laugh to much at my jokes, but hey... we all had a great time. She wants to study Graphic Design and work in Print in the Advertising industry when she gets through her higher education at Texas State. Rebekah chose a cool, one-arm off-shoulder dress that perfectly matched the color of one of our neighbor's blooming trees. The back light of the sun just made the images really cinematic. The bluebonnets out in the field were also fun to work with. I think Rebekah had a good time, but we certainly wore her out. Hopefully, the images made the entire session worth it... we really love 'em. More images on the site, and click here for a short video from the session.... Enjoy....
